There is probably a point of view in here where Google is being stupid, lazily pushing like WebHID without any kind of standards support - like they've done countless times before. But Mozilla is also being stupid about clutching impractically tight to their ideals in a way that harms their users. Mozilla has done it many times in the past when they tried to only support open-source codecs or refused to implement the DRM black box. In practice, at the time that meant on Firefox you used Adobe Flash for any video playback, and Chrome had a native `<video>` implementation. Even now, due to DRM differences, Netflix maxes out at 720p in Firefox, but 1080p in Chrome, and 4K in Edge.
